1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide analytical and advertising information to website operators.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set directly by Harron Homes) or "third-party" (set by external partners providing services such as video hosting, virtual tours, advertising networks, or analytics). They can also be "session" cookies (which expire as soon as you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device until a set expiration date or until manually deleted).
